Made from porous clay, the vessel releases moisture directly into the soil where roots need it most. Fill the unit every few days and the system meters water to surrounding roots, reducing surface runoff, evaporation and the need for daily checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Hydro MAX M maintain moisture without overwatering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clay Olla naturally regulates moisture by releasing water only when surrounding soil dries, so plants draw what they need. This passive process prevents waterlogging and reduces plant stress from fluctuating moisture levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePorous clay allows slow capillary release into the root zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoil moisture, not a timer, controls water flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces risk of fungal issues from persistent surface wetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big an area and which plants will the 0.8 gal Hydro MAX M support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydro MAX M holds about 0.8 gallons and is designed for individual plants or small groups within a roughly 35.4-inch radius.
